Toasted Pineapple & Orange Syrup recipe

1. Combine both orange and pineapple syrup together and allow to simmer until it turns into an amberish almost caramel like colour.

2. Fine strain into clean empty bottles and store them in a cool place. The recipe yields approximately 3L of syrup

Candied Pineapple

1. Use the cooked pineapple wedges and line them up in a baking tray and place them into an oven for 180 celcius for 12 minutes.

2. turn the pineapples to the other side and bake again for another 12 minutes.

3. Remove from oven and use a kitchen blow torch to caramelize the pineapple on both sides.

4. Allow to cool and store into the fridge

Candied Oranges

1. Use the cooked oranges slices and line them up in a baking tray and place them into an oven for 180 celcius for 8 minutes.

2. Turn the orange slices to the other side and bake again for another 8 minutes.

3. Remove from oven and use a kitchen blow torch to caramelize the orange slices on both sides.

4. Allow to cool and store into the fridge

* Seems like quite a bit of work, but it’s not really. Once you get the hang of it, it would be quite a brisk task. All you’ll need to be careful with would be to monitor the cooking and baking process of the fruits…over cooked them and they’ll turn undesirably soft and mushy.

Hope you’ll enjoy this one!

Cheers!
